Simple and Clean is the song played during the credits of Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, written by Utada Hikaru. A remixed version of it is played in the opening AMV of Kingdom Hearts. Both the original and the remix have Japanese versions, also written and sung by Utada Hikaru, however, sporting different lyrics.

The melody of the refrain of "Simple and Clean" is borrowed from another of Utada's Japanese songs. In addition, the theme of the song is very different in the English version. A PLANITb remix of "Simple and Clean" was used for the North American release of Kingdom Hearts.

English Lyrics (Simple and Clean)

You're giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,

Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple"

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go


Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before


Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

Japanese Lyrics (Hikari)

Donna toki datte
Tada hitori de
Unmei wasurete
Ikite kita no ni
Totsuzen no hikari no naka me ga sameru
Mayonaka ni

Shizuka ni deguchi ni tatte
Kurayami ni hikari o ute

Imadoki yakusoku nante fuan ni saseru dake kana
Negai o kuchi ni shitai dake sa
Kazoku ni mo shoukai suru yo
Kitto umaku iku yo

Donna toki datte
Zutto futari de
Donna toki datte
Soba ni iru kara
Kimi to iu hikari ga watashi o mitsukeru
Mayonaka ni

Urusai (When you turn my way) toori ni haitte
Unmei (Take it all the way) no kamen o tore

Sakiyomi no shisugi nante imi no nai koto wa yamete
Kyou wa oishii mono o tabeyou yo
Mirai wa zutto saki da yo
Boku ni mo wakarana

Kansei sasenaide
Motto yokushite
WAN SHIIN zutsu totte
Ikeba ii kara
Kimi to iu hikari ga watashi no SHINARIO
Utsushidasu

Motto hanasou yo
Mokuzen no ashita no koto mo
TEREBI keshite
Watashi no koto dake o miteite yo

Donna ni yokuttatte
Shinji kirenai ne
Sonna toki datte
Soba ni iru kara
Kimi to iu hikari ga watashi o mitsukeru
Mayonaka ni

Motto hanasou yo
Mokuzen no ashita no koto mo
TEREBI keshite
Watashi no koto dake o miteite yo

Simple and Clean (PLANITb remix)

You're giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,

Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple"

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

The daily things that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,

Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
